Guerrero Negro?
If I fly my plane to G.N. I'm guessing I can get a taxi into town from the airport.
How can I get from town out to Laguna Ojo de Libre for whale watching?

take a bicycle in your plane. good exercise when you reach your destination.. just don't let DK see you bicycling, he will stop and harangue you
about how bikes are dangerous, and a threat to RVs and Toyota Tacomas

Ya, I thought about it.
It's probably 5-10 miles to the turn-off and then about 5-10 miles of sandy dirt road.
Possible I guess but not practical.

it's flat, take the bike. you'll likely have a tail wind for at least one leg.
we occasionally take my friend's plane for mountain biking trips here in the states -- unpack the bikes, load up the panniers, and off you go!

Go to Malarrimo Tours and they'll bus you out there. I'm not sure if Laguna Tours is still in business, but if so, they'll do the same for the same
price and have a nice little introduction before you leave. I don't think you can go out across the salt co. land alone, think you've got to have a
pass...easier, simpler and quicker to go with the tour.
I like to take morning and afternoon tours the same day. As long as you've gone all that way, why not make the most of it ??

you can go alone
You just have to Bike out of GN to the Turn Off then go all the way out to the Lagoon. About half way there is a guy at a booth/gate thingy who takes
your info then off you go the rest of the way out to the Lagoon. Better have a motor on that bike.
Go to Malarrimo's If your too lazy to ride a bike out there
When you flying in I might be there.I'll gladly come get you at the airport and drive you out to the Lagoon If Im in town.

Okay, I checked with Malarrimo's website. They have a tour from 8am-12pm. That should work okay. I should be able to get to the airport and be
airborne by 1-2pm and back to San Diego by 4-5pm.

I just got an email from Caracoles. From Elisa Ruiz. Their tour leaves at 8am also.
No Shari isn't helping me out much this time. Guess I'm on my own.

Fish, be careful about trip planning in Baja. Everything takes more time than you think it will especially when you are in a hurry. I wouldn't even
consider trying to fly back to the States from GN after a whale trip that is SUPPOSED to be back by 12:00. Sometimes everything goes as scheduled but
not often. Nothing worse than being in a hurry to make something happen when you're flying, bad things can happen.
Take your time, stay another night, you might even get lucky.......leave in the morning. You'll have more fun and get home safely........dt

There must be 8 or 9 whale tour operators in the same block as Mallarimos. A bike? It think it's about 26 miles from GN. Are you going by yourself?

Sorry Cindi, but I am on a roll as Baja Spell Checker this morning!

Hey DT, I am fully aware of that... the purpose here is to inform Nomads on the way to spell places we love...
If someone says they love Fresno, yet they spell it Fredsno or Frezno, I would hope they would want to spell it the right way, for the locals as well
as learning for themselves.
Nomad is for fun and education. Learning the right way is not an insult. If you had been here as long as some others, you would know I am a terrible
English speller... but places in Baja should be spelled the right way, out of respect, if for no other reason... IMO.

Personally, I refuse to learn the correct spelling of Mallarraminos because everyone knows what I mean no matter how I spell it !!
(And because it irritates DK ! ) 
Hey DT, now you are getting the hang of it !!
BTW, I was sure that Shari, the-hostess-with-the-mostess would chime in and take care of the Fishman !!
I have been to one of Shari's birthday whaling extravaganzas and it was well worth the trip !!
